Prerequisites

An API key is required to use this connector. Sign up for a ArcGIS Developer account.

How to get an API key

  1. Sign in to https://developers.arcgis.com
  2. Click "API keys"
  3. Click "New API Key" to create a new API key
  4. Provide a title and description for the API key to create one.
  5. Before proceeding, remember to configure services. This will depend on the actions you plan to use in the connector.

WARNING: Services accessed through your API key will incur a charge to your account; you should keep the API key secure. Pricing information can be found here.

Get started with ArcGIS PaaS connector

To use the actions in ArcGIS PaaS connector, the underlying service for the API key needs to be configured with appropriate service. Learn more about configuring service for API key here.

The below table describes the action and the underlying service:

Action Service
Geoenrichment Geoenrichment
Find address candidate Geocoding
Geocode addresses Geocoding
Point to point routing Routing

If the result of a Find address candidate or Geocode addresses action will store the results, configure the Geocoding (stored) service instead.

Limitations

When using the Geocode addresses action, for large datasets the input to the action will need to be batched or chunked into multiple individual requests.

Name Limit
Geocode addresses 150 rows per request
Get data from Feature Layer 1000 rows per request without geometry
Get data from Feature Layer 150 rows per request with geometry
Geometry lookups 1 geometry per request
Point to point routing 150 stops per request

Creating a connection

The connector supports the following authentication types:
